The actors sparked romance rumors on Friday after they were spotted together in Hawaii. However, So Hee’s agency said that she was on vacation “with close friends.”On her personal blog, So Hee wrote a lengthy statement confirming the relationship, but said that it did not overlap with Jun Yeol’s previous relationship with singer and actress Hyeri, with whom he was together for six years before their breakup was announced in November 2023.
She also apologized about her cryptic Instagram Story, which she posted after Hyeri shared a photo of a vacation spot with the caption, “This is funny.”So Hee had seemingly responded with a Story of her own, saying, “Explain this situation… I don’t like people who have a significant other, I don’t lead them on while saying we’re just friends, I don’t take an interest in them, I don’t develop a relationship with them, and I don’t get in the way of other people’s relationships.
